"Losing Your Temper Can Delay Healing"

Do you lose your temper or get irritated often?

It's high time that you try to become a cool person. A new study has found that anger, which is known to blow out the light of reason, can delay healing too.
A team of researchers has found that being unable to control and vent anger can harm the process of healing a wound.
The researchers analysed around 100 participants who had agreed to receive standardised blister wounds, inflicted by a vacuum pump on their non-dominant forearm. After blistering, the wounds were monitored daily for eight days to access the speed of repair. The secretion of the stress hormone cortisol was also measured during blistering to evaluate the role of this hormone in the healing process.
Anger control was assessed using a standard scale and the participants were categorised as slow healers if they took more than four days to heal the standardised wound. Taking into account potential confounding factors, people with low control over the expression of their anger were 4.2 times more likely to take more than four days to heal.
